Just to briefly explain the regulatory process, there's often an initial consultation. A proposed regulation is drafted and it's published in Canada Gazette part I. Under this bill, it is required to be published in Canada Gazette part I. At that point there is a comment period in which people can submit their views on the proposed regulation, and then the actual regulation is made when it is published in Canada Gazette part II. So there is a distinction between a proposed regulation and a regulation.
